A Life Fulfilled
Chapter 14
I Have Finally Found You, My Little Washu
" Really?"
" Yes, really. Now, where is Tenchi?"
" He said he was going to take a walk over to where Funaho is."
" Thanks, Ryoko," Washu waved good-bye to her daughter after asking her if she could watch Taro for her.
Washu walked over to where Funaho stood and there he was, leaning against the tree was Tenchi. She crept closer, trying not to be noticed. Finally, Washu was right next to the Jurian prince and a devilish idea came to mind.
" HI!" Washu screamed.
" AHHHHH!" Tenchi spun around to see two emerald eyes watching him, " Washu, you scared the life out of me!"
" I wanted to talk to you about Taro," Washu began.
" Washu, I don't want to force you into anything, you don't have to say yes, it doesn't matter to me," Tenchi stared into her eyes. " Do only what you want to do."
" Huh?"
" Sorry, I eavesdropped on you, Ryoko, and Ayeka last night. I understand how you feel and I never meant to pressure you. I want you to make a decision you'll be happy with."
" Tenchi, I already decided," Washu smiled. " And if it's alright with you, I would like to adopt him into the Hakubi family."
" Wha..really?" a wide grin appeared on the prince's face.
" Yes, rea.ah!" Washu was pulled into a tight embrace before she was able to finish.
" You don't know how much this means to me! Oh Washu, thank you!" Tenchi buried his face in the scientist's hair.
' My hearts beating faster...is it because I'm close to him?' Washu wrapped her arms around him, turning into her adult form.
' What power she has over me..I just want to be with her, forever,' Tenchi thought to himself.
' Maybe Ryoko and Ayeka are right, maybe he does love me. No, he's just being kind.right?'
Tenchi pulled out of the embrace and stared into Washu's eyes.
' I can't take my eyes off of her.'
" So beautiful," Tenchi accidentally said aloud.
" What?" Washu asked him.
" N.nothing. Washu, I want to show you something," Tenchi grabbed the scientist's arm and raced to the spot where he wouyld reveal something to her.
" Tenchi, where are we going?"
" You'll see," Tenchi said in a nervous tone. ' Come on, don't lose your cool, you have to tell her.'
Washu looked around in amazement when Tenchi had finally stopped. Cherry Blossoms were everywhere, trees had the blossoms in full bloom, it was truly amazing. A slight wind picked up, knocking a few blossoms off the trees and around her slender form.
Tenchi watched her looking at the trees in a child like wonder. Here was the place he would find the courage to tell her. Ryoko and Ayeka already knew the truth, something he hadn't realized. He had decided yesterday, yet he was unaware of it. Now he knew, he had picked Washu.
" Washu, I wanted to tell you something," Tenchi placed his hand around Washu's wrist and brought close to him.
" What is it Tenchi?" Washu looked at him with a confused expression.
The sound of rustling was heard by only the wind. Ryoko watched from behind a tree hoping that Tenchi would finally find the courage to tell her mother how much he cared about her.
' Go get her, Tenchi,' Ryoko thought, blocking the link she and Washu shared.
" Washu, you and I have been taking care of Taro ever since he got here and we've both been through so much."
" What's this all about?"
" Washu, Ryoko and Ayeka had a feeling about it since yesterday. I think today, for the first, I've realized it and deep down I think I've always love you."
" L..love me? You love me?" Washu stared at him in disbelief.
" Yes, Washu. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I want to make you happy and protect you from harm."
" Tenchi.I love you too," Tenchi place a hand on her face.
" Stay with me, forever," Tenchi leaned closer to her, his lips almost touching hers.
" I will, I'll stay with you, forever," Washu leaned closer to him, pressing her lips against his.
Tenchi, the Prince of Juria, and Washu, the Greatest Scientific Genius in the Universe, share a passionate kiss together for the first time. They had finally admitted it to each other, they never wanted this kiss to end. At that moment, all of Washu's hatred for Juria for taking her life away had completely vanished. Tenchi's worries about how the others would take it had been eliminated the day before thanks to the kind heart of the space pirate he once had feelings of love for.
Ryoko smiled at what she was seeing, her mother and the man she once loved, together, in each other's arms, sharing the kiss Ryoko used to dream about. The space pirate sensed a presence behind her and when she turned aorund, she couldn't believ her eyes. A Jurian ship.
The wind caused by the spacecraft over head forced Washu and Tenchi to end their moment together. Tenchi wrapped his arms around Washu, blocking any twigs or rocks that were thrown by the wind, with his back.
Tenchi and Washu relaxed after the wind died down. A Jurian ship had just loomed over the hills. Washu suddenly began to feel uneasy and the memories of her life with Mikamo Niwase returned to her. No, Niwase was only his fake last name, even though she couldn't stand the thought, his real last name was Kuramitsu, Mikamo Kuramitsu. Was she related to Mihoshi? Perhaps, though Washu shuddered at the thought. That would make her Mihoshi's great-grandmother! Ack, that made her sound too old!
" Washu Niwase? No, Washu Kuramitsu?" a voice that was all too familiar to the scientist's ears called her name.
' That name, Mikamo's last name, it couldn't be,' Washu looked over Tenchi's shoulder and her eyes went wide with shock when she saw who she was looking at.
" Mikamo?!"
" I have finally found you, my Little Washu."
